Abstract
Nanosized zerovalent iron (NZVI) Fe@Fe3O4 with a core-shell structure derived from photocatalytic MeOH aqueous solution of dinitrosyl iron complex (DNIC) [(N3MDA)Fe(NO)2] (N3MDA = N,N-dimethyl-2-(((1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-yl)methylene)amino)ethane-1-amine) (1-N3MDA), eosin Y, and triethylamine (TEA) is demonstrated. The NZVI Fe@Fe3O4 core shows a high percentage of zerovalent iron (Fe0 %) and is stabilized by a hydrophobic organic support formed through the photodegradation of eosin Y hybridized with the N3MDA ligand. In addition to its well-known reductive properties in wastewater treatment and groundwater remediation, NZVI demonstrates the ability to form heterostructures when it interacts with metal ions. In this research, Co2+ is employed as a model contaminant and reacted with NZVI Fe@Fe3O4 to result in the formation of a distinct Fe-Co heterostructure, cracked NZVI (CNZVI). The slight difference in the standard redox potentials between Fe2+ and Co2+, the magnetic properties of Co2+, and the absence of surface hydroxides of Fe@Fe3O4 enable NZVI to mildly reduce Co2+ and facilitate Co2+ penetration into the iron core. Taking advantage of the well-dispersed nature of CNZVI on an organic support, the reduction in particle size due to Co2+ penetration, and Fe-Co synergism, CNZVI is employed as a catalyst in the alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Remarkably, CNZVI exhibits a highly efficient OER performance, surpassing the benchmark IrO2 catalyst. These findings show the potential of using NZVI as a template for synthesizing highly efficient OER catalysts. Moreover, the study demonstrates the possibility of repurposing waste materials from water treatment as valuable resources for catalytic energy conversion, particularly in water oxidation processes.

Abstract
Heterostructuring colloidal nanocrystals into multicomponent modular constructs, where domains of distinct metal and semiconductor phases are interconnected through bonding interfaces, is a consolidated approach to advanced breeds of solution-processable hybrid nanomaterials capable of expressing richly tunable and even entirely novel physical-chemical properties and functionalities. To meet the challenges posed by the wet-chemical synthesis of metal-semiconductor nanoheterostructures and to overcome some intrinsic limitations of available protocols, innovative transformative routes, based on the paradigm of partial chemicalization, have recently been devised within the framework of the standard seeded-growth scheme. These techniques involve regiospecific replacement reactions on preformed nanocrystal substrates, thus holding great synthetic potential for programmable configurational diversification. This review article illustrates achievements so far made in the elaboration of metal-semiconductor nanoheterostructures with tailored arrangements of their component modules by means of conversion pathways that leverage on spatially controlled partial chemicalization of mono- and bi-metallic seeds. The advantages and limitations of these approaches are discussed within the context of the most plausible mechanisms underlying the evolution of the nanoheterostructures in liquid media. Representative physical-chemical properties and applications of chemicalization-derived metal-semiconductor nanoheterostructures are emphasized. Finally, prospects for developments in the field are outlined.

Abstract
As second-generation mesoporous materials, mesoporous noble metals (NMs) are of significant interest for their wide applications in catalysis, sensing, bioimaging, and biotherapy owing to their structural and metallic features. The introduction of interior hollow cavity into NM-based mesoporous nanoparticles (MNs), which subtly integrate hierarchical hollow and mesoporous structure into one nanoparticle, produces a new type of hollow MNs (HMNs). Benefiting from their higher active surface, better electron/mass transfer, optimum electronic structure, and nanoconfinement space, NM-based HMNs exhibit their high efficiency in enhancing catalytic activity and stability and tuning catalytic selectivity. In this review, recent progress in the design, synthesis, and catalytic applications of NM-based HMNs is summarized, including the findings of the groups. Five main strategies for synthesizing NM-based HMNs, namely silica-assisted surfactant-templated nucleation, surfactant-templated sequential nucleation, soft "dual"-template, Kirkendall effect in synergistic template, and galvanic-replacement-assisted surfactant template, are described in detail. In addition, the applications in ethanol oxidation electrocatalysis and hydrogenation reactions are discussed to highlight the high activity, enhanced stability, and optimal selectivity of NM-based HMNs in (electro)catalysis. Finally, the further outlook that may lead the directions of synthesis and applications of NM-based HMNs is prospected.

Abstract
Nanomaterials (NMs) with unique structures and compositions can give rise to exotic physicochemical properties and applications. Despite the advancement in solution-based methods, scalable access to a wide range of crystal phases and intricate compositions is still challenging. Solid-state reaction (SSR) syntheses have high potential owing to their flexibility toward multielemental phases under feasibly high temperatures and solvent-free conditions as well as their scalability and simplicity. Controlling the nanoscale features through SSRs demands a strategic nanospace-confinement approach due to the risk of heat-induced reshaping and sintering. Here, we describe advanced SSR strategies for NM synthesis, focusing on mechanistic insights, novel nanoscale phenomena, and underlying principles using a series of examples under different categories. After introducing the history of classical SSRs, key theories, and definitions central to the topic, we categorize various modern SSR strategies based on the surrounding solid-state media used for nanostructure growth, conversion, and migration under nanospace or dimensional confinement. This comprehensive review will advance the quest for new materials design, synthesis, and applications.

Abstract
Composite inorganic nanoarchitectures, based on combinations of distinct materials, represent advanced solid-state constructs, where coexistence and synergistic interactions among nonhomologous optical, magnetic, chemical, and catalytic properties lay a basis for the engineering of enhanced or even unconventional functionalities. Such systems thus hold relevance for both theoretical and applied nanotechnology-based research in diverse areas, spanning optics, electronics, energy management, (photo)catalysis, biomedicine, and environmental remediation. Wet-chemical colloidal synthetic techniques have now been refined to the point of allowing the fabrication of solution free-standing and easily processable multicomponent nanocrystals with sophisticated modular heterostructure, built upon a programmed spatial distribution of the crystal phase, composition, and anchored surface moieties. Such last-generation breeds of nanocrystals are thus composed of nanoscale domains of different materials, assembled controllably into core/shell or heteromer-type configurations through bonding epitaxial heterojunctions. This review offers a critical overview of achievements made in the design and synthetic elaboration of colloidal nanocrystal heterostructures based on diverse associations of transition metals (with emphasis on plasmonic metals) and transition-metal oxides. Synthetic strategies, all leveraging on the basic seed-mediated approach, are described and discussed with reference to the most credited mechanisms underpinning regioselective heteroepitaxial deposition. The unique properties and advanced applications allowed by such brand-new nanomaterials are also mentioned.

Systematic Study of Effective Hydrothermal Synthesis to Fabricate Nb-Incorporated TiO 2 for Oxygen Reduction Reaction. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15051633.

Abstract
Fuel cells are expected to serve as next-generation energy conversion devices owing to their high energy density, high power, and long life performance. The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is important for determining the performance of fuel cells; therefore, using catalysts to promote the ORR is essential for realizing the practical applications of fuel cells. Herein, we propose Nb-incorporated TiO2 as a suitable alternative to conventional Pt-based catalysts, because Nb doping has been reported to improve the conductivity and electron transfer number of TiO2. In addition, Nb-incorporated TiO2 can induce the electrocatalytic activity for the ORR. In this paper, we report the synthesis method for Nb-incorporated TiO2 through a hydrothermal process with and without additional load pressures. The electrocatalytic activity of the synthesized samples for the ORR was also demonstrated. In this process, the samples obtained under various load pressures exceeding the saturated vapor pressure featured a high content of Nb and crystalline TiNb2O7, resulting in an ellipsoidal morphology. X-ray diffraction results also revealed that, on increasing the Nb doping amounts, the diffraction peak of the anatase TiO2 shifted to a lower angle and the full width at half maximum decreased. This implies that the Ti atom is exchanged with the Nb atom during this process, resulting in a decrease in TiO2 crystallinity. At a doping level of 10%, Nb-incorporated TiO2 exhibited the best electrocatalytic activity in terms of the oxygen reduction current (iORR) and onset potential for the ORR (EORR); this suggests that 10% Nb-doped samples have the potential for enhancing electrocatalytic activity.

Significant Surface Spin Effects and Exchange Bias in Iron Oxide-Based Hollow Magnetic Nanoparticles. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12030456.

Abstract
Exchange bias (EB) properties have become especially important in hollow magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) due to the versatility and reduced size of these materials. In this work, we present the synthesis and study of the EB properties of iron-oxide-based hollow MNPs and their precursors Fe/iron oxide MNPs with core/void/shell structure. The two mechanisms involved in EB generation were investigated: the frozen spins present in the nanograins that form the nanoparticles and the surface spins. The effect of external parameters on the coercivity (HC), remanence (MR), exchange bias field (HEB) and frozen spins, such as cooling field (HFC) and temperature, was investigated. Both HC and HEB present a maximum threshold above which their values begin to decrease with HFC, showing a new trend of HEB with HFC and allowing modulation on demand. The existence of surface spins, present on the outer and inner surfaces, was demonstrated, and an intrinsic EB phenomenon (HEB = 444 Oe for hollow iron oxide-based MNPs of 13.1 nm) with significant magnetization (MS~50 emu/g) was obtained. Finally, core/void/shell MNPs of 11.9 nm prior to the formation of the hollow MNPs showed a similar behavior, with non-negligible HEB, highlighting the importance of surface spins in EB generation.

Abstract
Artificially mimicking structures/morphologies available in the nature to develop multifunctional materials for catalysis is receiving greater attention. Particularly, the burdock flower morphology, which has a hollow-globe surrounded by spiky sheets, represents a multifunctional structure helpful in adsorption as well as intercalation of molecules. Given this, we have strategically developed a robust microwave (MW) bubble-template process to achieve highly uniform α-Fe2O3 and carbon-enriched Fe3O4 (Fe3O4@C) phases resembling the characteristics of spiky hollow burdock morphologies. The utilization of the MW bubble-templates as a pretreatment to the iron-based precursor solution helps in producing hollowed open-space ferrous glycolate burdock flower morphology with rapid production rate and without any addition of extra agents. Such burdock flower structures remain intact even after annealing in air/N2 ambiance providing highly photoactive α-Fe2O3 or magnetic Fe3O4@C, respectively. Utilizing the hollow burdock flower structures together with the individual photo/magnetic properties of iron oxide phases, a dual-layer filter was designed to remove hazardous dye molecules from water, which efficiently photodegraded (99.2 %) in natural sunlight as well as showed excellent adsorption (99.7 %) within minutes. Comparatively, a lower catalytic activity using simple iron oxide nanoparticles, closed, and faded burdock morphologies were seen. Hence, the high catalytic activity in removing the dye molecules, retention of structural phases after repeated use, and strong durability were a result of the synergetic effect of photo/magnetic properties, activated surface/spiky open burdock structure.

Abstract
Starch (St) was used as green and renewable matrix (> 80%, db) for the preparation of Zn-St-MOCP/nFe3O4 composite via bioextrusion. Bifunction of Fe3O4 NPs as magnet and pore-inducer was confirmed and could be more homogeneously embedded in the St-based framework with hierarchical porous structure via SEM-EDS mapping. For the nFe3O4-induced microstructure of Zn-St-MOCP/nFe3O4 composite, submicronic pores and nanopores were observed with Fe3O4 NPs onto the inner surface of micron channels. According to the XPS, XRD, FTIR, TGA analyses, it is probably due to the coordination between Fe3+/2+ and Zn2+/hydroxy groups and the recombination of St chains in crystalline/amorphous zones interfered by Fe3O4 NPs. Saturation magnetization value was measured with an excellent separation behavior. Seven kinetic equations were conducted for the fitting of dye adsorption data. Overall, the nFe3O4-assisted bioextrusion strategy is developed for the continuous fabrication of bio-based materials with rapid magnetic separation and hierarchical-pore architecture promising in practical adsorption.

Abstract
Reactions of core-shell iron nanoparticles with metal(loid)s in water can form an array of nanostructures such as Ag-seed/dendrite, As-subshell, U-yolk, Co-hollowshell, and Cs-spot. Nonetheless, there is a lack of profound understanding in the genesis of these amazing geometries. Herein, we propose a concept to unravel the interdiffusion between the core-shell iron nanoparticle and metal(loid)s, where several key interactions including the Kirkendall effect, metal(loid) character effect, and reaction condition effect are involved in determining the structure of the final solid reaction products. Particularly, the architectural growths of metal(loid)s with iron nanoparticles in water can be manipulated mutually or singly by the following factors: standard redox potential difference, magnetic property, electrical charge and conductivity, as well as the iron (hydr)oxide shell structure under different solution chemistry and operation conditions. This contribution provides a theoretical basis to rationalize the architectural genesis of various metal(loid)s with iron nanoparticles, which will benefit the real practice for synthesizing functional iron-based nanoparticles and recovering the rare/precious metal(loid)s by iron nanoparticles from water.

Abstract
Removal of non-biodegradable heavy metals has been the top priority in wastewater treatment and the development of green technologies remains a significant challenge. We demonstrate that phosphorylated nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) is promising for removal of heavy metals (NiII , CuII , CrVI , HgII ) via a boosted Kirkendall effect. Phosphorylation confines tensile hoop stress on the nZVI particles and "breaks" the structurally dense spherical nZVI to produce numerous radial nanocracks. Exemplified by NiII removal, the radial nanocracks favor the facile inward diffusion of NiII and the rapid outward transport of electrons and ferrous ions through the oxide shell for surface (NiII /electron) and boundary (NiII /Fe0 ) galvanic exchange. Accompanied by a pronounced hollowing phenomenon, phosphorylated nZVI can instantly reduce and immobilize NiII throughout the oxide shell with a high capacity (258 mg Ni g-1 Fe). For real electroplating factory wastewater treatment, this novel nZVI performs simultaneous NiII and CuII removal, producing effluent of stable quality that meets local discharge regulations.

Abstract
Hollow iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are an attractive class of hollow nanostructures that have received significant attention in the biomedical field due to their low toxicity, good biocompatibility, and intrinsic magnetic nature. We review the recent advances in the preparation, surface functionalization, and biomedical applications of hollow iron oxide NPs. Hollow iron oxide NPs are generally synthesized by the following five strategies, including the Kirkendall effect, galvanic replacement, chemical etching, nano template-mediated, and hydrothermal/solvothermal routes. We also summarize the general strategies for iron oxide NP surface functionalization. Moreover, various promising biomedical applications of hollow iron oxide NPs, including magnetic resonance imaging, drug delivery, and cancer therapy, are highlighted in detail. Finally, perspectives of hollow iron oxide NPs are provided.

Abstract
The iron-based Fenton-type reaction has drawn tremendous attention in cancer therapy. Compared with oxidized iron, Fe(0) possesses high catalytic activity but unstable for biomedical application. Here, we report a new strategy to stabilize Fe(0) via a porous yolk shell nanostructure of Fe/Fe3O4 (PYSNPs) in normal physiological condition, and to control the release of Fe(0) in tumor microenvironment for enhanced cancer therapy. These PYSNPs display superior tumor inhibition with the IC50 down to 20 μg/mL (over 1 mg/mL for iron oxide nanoparticles as control) for HepG2 cell. A single intravenous injection of as low as 1 mg/kg dosage is effective to suppress tumor growth in vivo. Moreover, the disintegration of PYSNPs in the acidic tumor microenvironment could cause significant change in MRI signal for contrast-enhanced diagnosis. Of note, the resulting Fe3O4 fragments are renal clearable with minimized side effect. In all, this work represented a nanoplatform to stabilize and selectively deliver Fe(0) for highly effective cancer therapy.

Abstract
Selectivity is a crucial parameter for photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing in a practical setting. Despite the use of specific probes such as aptamers, antibodies, and enzymes, coexisting interferences can still result in inaccuracies in PEC sensing, especially for complex biosample matrixes. Here we report the design of an Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2 magnetic-optical bifunctional beacon applied in a novel PEC sensor that can selectively capture progesterone in complex biosamples, be magnetically separated and cleaned, and be detected in pure phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The magnetic separation strategy efficiently removes the complex coexisting species from the modified electrode surface and drastically enhances the selectivity of the as-designed PEC sensor. The as-designed PEC sensor is cost-effective, easy to fabricate, highly selective and sensitive, and highly reliable, making it a promising platform for efficient aptasensing.

Abstract
FeCl3∙6H2O was used as raw material to produce Fe3O4, using the solvothermal method with ethylene glycol as the solvent. Fe3O4, with different particle sizes, was obtained via mechanical ball-milling by controlling the milling time. Effect of the milling time on the structure, morphology, and electromagnetic parameters of Fe3O4 were studied, and the absorption properties and mechanism of Fe3O4, for different milling times were analyzed. The results showed that the integrity of the original small spherical structure decreased as the ball milling time increased. Fe3O4 showed excellent microwave absorptions as the milling time reached 2 h, the reflection loss reached the maximum of -21.19 dB at 4.64 GHz as the thickness was 6.55 mm.

Abstract
Hollow magnetic structures have great potential to be used in the microwave absorbing field. Herein, Fe3O4 hollow spheres with different levels of hollowness were synthesized by the hydrothermal method under Ostwald ripening effect. In addition to their microstructures, the microwave absorption properties of such spheres were investigated. The results show that the grain size and hollowness of Fe3O4 hollow spheres both increase as the reaction time increases. With increasing hollowness, the attenuation ability of electromagnetic wave of Fe3O4 spheres increases first and then decreases, finally increases sharply after the spheres break down. Samples with strong attenuation ability can achieve good impedance matching, which it does preferentially as the absorber thickness increases. Fe3O4 hollow spheres show the best microwave absorption performance when the reaction time is 24 h. The minimum reflection loss (RL (min)) can reach -40 dB, while the thickness is only 3.2 mm.

Abstract
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are regarded as promising candidates for anodes of lithium ion batteries, but their applications have been severely hindered by poor material conductivity and lithiated volume expansion. As a potential solution, herein is presented a facile approach, by electrospinning a manganese-based metal organic framework (Mn-MOF), to fabricate yolk-shell MnOx nanostructures within carbon nanofibers in a botryoid morphology. While the yolk-shell structure accomodates the lithiated volume expansion of MnOx , the fiber confinement ensures the structural integrity during charge/discharge, achieving a so-called double-buffering for cyclic volume fluctuation. The formation mechanism of the yolk-shell structure is well elucidated through comprehensive instrumental characterizations and cogitative control experiments, following a combined Oswald ripening and Kirkendall process. Outstanding electrochemical performances are demonstrated with prolonged stability over 1000 cycles, boosted by the double-buffering design, as well as the "breathing" effect of lithiation/delithiation witnessed by ex situ imaging. Both the fabrication methodology and electrochemical understandings gained here for nanostructured MnOx can also be extended to other TMOs toward their ultimate implementation in high-performance lithium ion batteries (LIBs).

Abstract
Engineering inorganic nanoparticles with a biocompatible shell to improve their physicochemical properties is a vital step in taking advantage of their superior magnetic, optical, and photothermal properties as multifunctional molecular imaging probes for disease diagnosis and treatment. The grafting/peeling-off strategy we developed for nanoparticle surface coating can fully control the targeting capability of functional nanoprobes by changing their colloidal behaviors such as diffusion and sedimentation rates at the desired sites. We demonstrated that a cleavable coating layer initially immobilized on the surface of magnetic resonance imaging probes not only makes the nanoparticles water-soluble but also can be selectively removed by specific enzymes, thereby resulting in a significant decrease of their water solubility in an enzyme-rich environment. Upon removal of surface coating, the changes in hydrodynamic size and surface charges of nanoprobes as a result of interacting with biomolecules and proteins lead to dramatic changes in their in vivo colloidal behaviors ( i. e., slow diffusion rates, tendency to aggregate and precipitate), which were quantitatively evaluated by examining changes in their hydrodynamic sizes, magnetic properties, and count rates during the size measurement. Because the retention time of nanoprobes within the tumor tissues depends on the uptake and excretion rate of the nanoprobes through the tumors, selective activation of nanoprobes by a specific enzyme resulted in much higher tumor accumulation and longer retention time within the tumors than that of the inactive nanoprobes, which passively passed through the tumors. The imaging contrast effect of tumors using activatable nanoprobes was significantly improved over using inactive probes. Therefore, the grafting/peeling-off strategy, as a general design approach for surface modification of nanoprobes, offers a promising and highly efficient way to render the nanoparticles suitable for targeted imaging of tumors.

Abstract
Ferrimagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (magnetite or maghemite) have been the subject of an intense research, not only for fundamental research but also for their potentiality in a widespread number of practical applications. Most of these studies were focused on nanoparticles with spherical morphology but recently there is an emerging interest on anisometric nanoparticles. This review is focused on the synthesis routes for the production of uniform anisometric magnetite/maghemite nanoparticles with different morphologies like cubes, rods, disks, flowers and many others, such as hollow spheres, worms, stars or tetrapods. We critically analyzed those procedures, detected the key parameters governing the production of these nanoparticles with particular emphasis in the role of the ligands in the final nanoparticle morphology. The main structural and magnetic features as well as the nanotoxicity as a function of the nanoparticle morphology are also described. Finally, the impact of each morphology on the different biomedical applications (hyperthermia, magnetic resonance imaging and drug delivery) are analysed in detail. We would like to dedicate this work to Professor Carlos J. Serna, Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid, ICMM/CSIC, for his outstanding contribution in the field of monodispersed colloids and iron oxide nanoparticles. We would like to express our gratitude for all these years of support and inspiration on the occasion of his retirement.

Abstract
Li metal batteries suffer from dendrite formation which causes short circuit of the battery. Therefore, it is important to understand the chemical composition and growth mechanism of dendrites that limit battery efficiency and cycle life. In this study, in situ scanning electron microscopy was employed to monitor the cycling behavior of all-solid Li metal batteries with LiFePO4 cathodes. Chemical analyses of the dendrites were conducted using a windowless energy dispersive spectroscopy detector, which showed that the dendrites are not metallic lithium as universally recognized. Our results revealed the carbide nature of the dendrites with a hollow morphology and hardness greater than that of pure lithium. These carbide-based dendrites were able to perforate through the polymer, which was confirmed by milling the polymer using focused ion beam. It was also shown that applying pressure on the battery can suppress growth of the dendrites.

Abstract
While the realization of clean and sustainable energy conversion systems primarily requires the development of highly efficient catalysts, one of the main issues had been designing the structure of the catalysts to fulfill minimum cost as well as maximum performance. Until now, noble metal-based nanocatalysts had shown outstanding performances toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, the scarcity and high cost of them impeded their practical use. Recently, hollow nanostructures including nanocages and nanoframes had emerged as a burgeoning class of promising electrocatalysts. The hollow nanostructures could expose a high proportion of active surfaces while saving the amounts of expensive noble metals. In this review, we introduced recent advances in the synthetic methodologies for generating noble metal-based hollow nanostructures based on thermodynamic and kinetic approaches. We summarized electrocatalytic applications of hollow nanostructures toward the ORR, OER, and HER. We next provided strategies that could endow structural robustness to the flimsy structural nature of hollow structures. Finally, we concluded this review with perspectives to facilitate the development of hollow nanostructure-based catalysts for energy applications.

Abstract
The formation of hollow-structured oxide nanoparticles is primarily governed by the Kirkendall effect. However, the degree of complexity of the oxidation process multiplies in the bimetallic system because of the incorporation of more than one element. Spatially dependent oxidation kinetics controls the final morphology of the hollow nanoparticles, and the process is highly dependent on the elemental composition. Currently, a theoretical framework that can predict how different metal elements result in different oxide morphologies remains elusive. In this work, utilizing a combination of state-of-the-art in situ environmental transmission electron microscopy and three-dimensional (3D) chemically sensitive electron tomography, we provide an in situ and 3D investigation of the oxidation mechanism of the Ni-Fe nanoparticles. The direct measurements allow us to correlate the 3D elemental segregation in the particles with the oxidation morphologies, that is, single-cavity or dual-cavity hollow structure, and multicavity porous structures. Our findings in conjunction with theoretical calculations show that metal concentration, diffusivity, and particle size are important parameters that dictate the mechanical and phase stabilities of the hollow oxide shell, which in turn determine its barrier properties and the final hollow oxide morphology. It sheds light on how to use multielemental oxidation to control morphology in nanomaterials and demonstrates the power of 3D chemical imaging.

Abstract
Macroporous magnetic Fe3O4 microparticles, which might act as both drug carriers and magnetocaloric media, were expected to have broad application prospects on magnetocaloric-responsively controlled drug release systems. A kind of macroporous magnetic Fe3O4 microparticle was prepared by an organic matter assisted open-cell hollow sphere (hollow sphere with holes on shell) assembly method in this study. 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NVP) and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) were selected as the template and the binder, respectively. Ferrous ions were specifically bound to carbonyl groups on NVP and were then reduced by NaBH4. The reduced irons underwent heterogeneous nucleation and grain growth to form Fe0/Fe3O4 microspheres consisting of a lot of nano-Fe0 grains, and were then assembled into Fe0/Fe3O4 microparticles wrapped by AMPS. Results indicate that NVP binding with ferrous ions can promote a self-polymerization process and the formation of Fe0/Fe3O4 microspheres, while AMPS enwrapping around the resultant microspheres can facilitate their assembly into larger aggregates. As a result, macroporous Fe3O4 microparticles composed of several open-cell hollow Fe3O4 microspheres can be obtained under a Kirkendall-controlled oxidation. Moreover, these as-prepared macroporous Fe3O4 microparticles possess a narrow particle size distribution and exhibit ferromagnetism (Ms = 66.14 emu/g, Mr = 6.33 emu/g, and Hc = 105.32 Oe). Our work, described here, would open up a novel synthesis method to assemble macroporous magnetic Fe3O4 microparticles for potential application in magnetocaloric-responsively controlled drug release systems.

Abstract
Introduction Deep penetration of large-sized drug nanocarriers into tumors is important to improve the efficacy of tumor therapy. Methods In this study, we developed a size-changeable “Trojan Horse” nanocarrier (THNC) composed of paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded Greek soldiers (GSs; ~20 nm) assembled in an amphiphilic gelatin matrix with hydrophilic losartan (LST) added. Results With amphiphilic gelatin matrix cleavage by matrix metalloproteinase-2, LST showed fast release of up to 60% accumulated drug at 6 h, but a slow release kinetic (~20%) was detected in the PTX from the GSs, indicating that THNCs enable controllable release of LST and PTX drugs for penetration into the tumor tissue. The in vitro cell viability in a 3D tumor spheroid model indicated that the PTX-loaded GSs liberated from THNCs showed deeper penetration as well as higher cytotoxicity, reducing a tumor spheroid to half its original size and collapsing the structure of the tumor microenvironment. Conclusion The results demonstrate that the THNCs with controlled drug release and deep penetration of magnetic GSs show great potential for cancer therapy.

[PMID: 29661992 PMCID: PMC5923568 DOI: 10.3390/nano8040238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2018] [Revised: 04/06/2018] [Accepted: 04/11/2018] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
In this study, Cu and Cu2O nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized through chemical reduction of soluble copper-chelating ligand complexes using formaldehyde as a reducing agent. The influence of various chelating ligands, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), and a surface-active derivative of DTPA (C12-DTPA), as well as surfactants (i.e., hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DoTAC), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and dimethyldodecylamine-N-oxide (DDAO)), on morphology and the composition of produced NPs was investigated. In the absence of surfactants, spherical copper particles with polycrystalline structure could be obtained. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that, in the presence of EDTA, the synthesized NPs are mainly composed of Cu with a crystallite size on the order of 35 nm, while with DTPA and C12-DTPA, Cu2O is also present in the NPs as a minority phase. The addition of ionic surfactants to the copper–EDTA complex solution before reduction resulted in smaller spherical particles, mainly composed of Cu. However, when DDAO was added, pure Cu2O nano-octahedrons were formed, as verified by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) and XRD. Furthermore, a hybrid material could be successfully prepared by mixing the octahedral Cu2O NPs with cellulose dissolved in a LiOH/urea solvent system, followed by spin-coating on silica wafers. It is expected that this simple and scalable route to prepare hybrid materials could be applied to a variety of possible applications.

Abstract
For the past few decades, nanoparticles of various sizes, shapes, and compositions have been synthesized and utilized in many different applications. However, due to a lack of analytical tools that can characterize structural changes at the nanoscale level, many of their growth and transformation processes are not yet well understood. The recently developed technique of liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has gained much attention as a new tool to directly observe chemical reactions that occur in solution. Due to its high spatial and temporal resolution, this technique is widely employed to reveal fundamental mechanisms of nanoparticle growth and transformation. Here, the technical developments for liquid-phase TEM together with their application to the study of solution-phase nanoparticle chemistry are summarized. Two types of liquid cells that can be used in the high-vacuum conditions required by TEM are discussed, followed by recent in situ TEM studies of chemical reactions of colloidal nanoparticles. New findings on the growth mechanism, transformation, and motion of nanoparticles are subsequently discussed in detail.

Abstract
Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs), demonstrating peroxidase-like activity has garnered attention in the detection of several biomolecules, therefore, emerged as an excellent nano-biosensing agent. The intrinsic peroxidase-like activity of Fe3O4 NPs at acidic pH is the fundamental action driving the oxidation of substrates like TMB, resulting in a colorimetric product formation used in the detection of biomolecules. Hence, the detection sensitivity essentially depends on the ability of oxidation by Fe3O4 NPs in presence of H2O2. However, the limited sensitivity and pH condition constraint have been identified as the major drawbacks in the detection of biomolecules at physiological pH. Herein, we report overwhelming of the fundamental limitation of acidic pH and tuning the peroxidase-like activity of Fe3O4 NPs at physiological pH by using ATP. In presence of ATP, Fe3O4 NPs exhibited enhanced peroxidase-like activity over a wide range of pH and temperatures. Mechanistically, it was found that the ability of ATP to participate in single electron transfer reaction, through complexation with Fe3O4 NPs, results in the generation of hydroxyl radicals which are responsible for enhanced peroxidase activity at physiological pH. We utilized this ATP-mediated enhanced peroxidase-like activity of Fe3O4 NPs for single step detection of glucose with a colorimetric detection limit of 50μM. Further, we extended this single step detection method to monitor glucose level in human blood serum and detected in a time span of <5min at pH 7.4.

Abstract
Although a range of nanoparticles have been developed as drug delivery systems in cancer therapeutics, this approach faces several important challenges concerning nanocarrier circulation, clearance, and penetration. The impact of reducing nanoparticle size on penetration through leaky blood vessels around tumor microenvironments via enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect has been extensively examined. Recent research has also investigated the effect of nanoparticle shape on circulation and target binding affinity. However, how nanoparticle shape affects drug release and therapeutic efficacy has not been previously explored. Here, we compared the drug release and efficacy of iron oxide nanoparticles possessing either a cage shape (IO-NCage) or a solid spherical shape (IO-NSP). Riluzole cytotoxicity against metastatic cancer cells was enhanced 3-fold with IO-NCage. The shape of nanoparticles (or nanocages) affected the drug release point and cellular internalization, which in turn influenced drug efficacy. Our study provides evidence that the shape of iron oxide nanoparticles has a significant impact on drug release and efficacy.

Abstract
A strategy for the formation of magnetic Ni x Fe3-x O4 hollow nanospheres with very high specific surface areas was designed through a facile solvothermal method in mixed solvents of ethylene glycol and water in this work. The Ni/Fe ratios and the crystal phases of the Ni x Fe3-x O4 hollow nanocrystals can be readily tuned by changing the molar ratios of Ni to Fe in the precursors. An inside-out Ostwald ripening mechanism was proposed for the formation of uniform Ni x Fe3-x O4 hollow nanospheres. Moreover, the obtained Ni x Fe3-x O4 hollow nanospheres exhibited excellent adsorption capacity towards organic molecules such as Congo red in water. The maximum adsorption capacities of Ni x Fe3-x O4 hollow nanospheres for Congo red increase dramatically from 263 to 500 mg g-1 with the increase of the Ni contents (x) in Ni x Fe3-x O4 hollow nanospheres from 0.2 to 0.85. The synthesized Ni x Fe3-x O4 nanoparticles can be potentially applied for waste water treatment.
